making some mistakes but their effort is good

Dogs have a number of huge outs. They probably should be winning games like this by now

    I’m guessing Bailey Williams and Bailey Scott are non-contenders??

    Bailey Scott going well and among the best for his side, but Bailey Dale brought laser sights and his own motorbike today.

    Bailey Williams nothing to be thrilled about on the day. But that just shows that while not every Bailey is a champion, every champion is a Bailey.

    Horrific

    Archer lucky not to break his leg too

    Yeah he was reckless; but at full speed whether it was accidental or intentional is debatable.

    Port are looking bottom 4 considering most would think the Pies are a bottom 10 side.

    Who thinks the pies are bottom 10? They're totally stacked on most lines. Houston a complete game changer

    Exactly. They could easily finish top 2 and it’s surreal (in a bad way) to think we were in the early running for Houston.

    He was ours until the media did their work to change things.

    he was ours until our season fell in a heap and our top pick become top 5 (prior to the academy and father-son selections)

    there was no way we were trading the pick that become langford for him

    Only hindsight will tell whether it was wise or not. Houston would absolutely help us win now and he'll probably help the Pies go quite close. 

    We still have our stars and the window with Gawn and May is closing, but I'm not sure the rest of our 22 is premiership quality anyway. Taking Langford could set us up to stay within striking distance in a few years time.

    Is there a club that covers for injuries better than Brisbane?

    And massive credit to the Dogs for winning given their state of injuries although for all we know North could once again be a bottom 2 side.

    You're joking right? Good teams don't get smashed like they did against an undermanned Giants side. Happy for you to bookmark this, but the Pies won't finish in the top 8. Last night was all about Port and nothing about Collingwood.

    On the Houston trade. no doubt the club wanted him but we would have to give up the Lindsay pick +. 

    I reckon XL will have a great career and although Houston is good, he is 10 years older than XL. 

    On the Pies, I predict them (and us) to rise significantly this year. At least top 6

    I’d be absolutely staggered if Collingwood miss the 8.

    I'd be far more staggered if they finished top 2. I certainly think they're closer to 9th than 2nd.

    It's all too common to read too much into Round 1 (even Rounds 2-4). But I'm with @At the break of Gawn in that I think last night was more about Port being awful than Collingwood being amazing.

    Great start for Nibbler and the Crows.

    St Kilda look horrid. Incredibly vanilla football side.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
